Iron-catalyzed Aerobic Oxidation of Silyl Ethers to Carboxylic Acids
Abstract
A direct aerobic oxidation of silyl ethers to carboxylic acids has been developed. The mild reaction conditions lead to a broad range of functional group compatibility. Different types of silyl groups have been investigated and selective deprotective oxidation has been realized. The reaction could be conducted in O2 or air.
